on a specified port and  publishes the specified CHM file. This makes it 
possible to read the files on the fly. Non-ASCII  text in the contents and
filenames is now  supported. It is now also possible to lowercase 
filenames and links inside .html files, so you  can read CHM with
mixed-cased links on  case-sensitive filesystems. Several bugfixes  were
made.

[009] - ayttm 0.3.3 
  by Colin Leroy (http://freshmeat.net/users/colinleroy/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 08:25

Communications :: Chat

About: Ayttm is an instant messenger program, supporting various protocols
such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Jabber, and more. It is a fork of Everybuddy, and
initially aims to address its problems. It should not segfault when you
use it, and should be almost instantly usable by your mother. Almost
useless prefs should be hidden, reserved for "advanced" users, and things
have to work without wondering what this or that will produce.

Changes: IRC is now multi-account compatible and uses asynchronous
connections. Chatrooms are now tabbed, like chatwindows. Multiprotocol
smiley themes have been added. This release fixes two crashes, MSN file
sending failing the second time and smiley preferences being ignored. A
nicer Invite window has been added.

recently, including direct support for embedding SQL statements in
telephony scripting. Support for many computer telephony drivers has been
greatly improved since the 1.0 stable releases. Most noteworthy of these
is that 1.2.0 provides functional support for generic CAPI 2.0-based
telephony hardware (both basic rate and primary rate cards) under
GNU/Linux, where in past releases CAPI support had been marginal at best.

  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 03:33



About: The Big Faceless Report Generator is a Java application for
converting source documents written in XML to PDF. Built on top of the Big
Faceless PDF & Graph Libraries, the Report Generator combines these
features and wraps an XML parser around them. Using JSP, ASP, XSL, or
similar, creating dynamic PDF documents directly from a database is now as
easy as HTML.

Changes: The "page-break-before" and "page-break-after"  attributes can
now be set to "left" or "right"  to control whether the next page appears
on an  even or odd page, or to "join" to keep it with  the previous or
next node. A "min-height"  attribute was added for compatibility with
CSS2.  Version 1.2.11 of the PDF library and 1.1.4 of  the Graph library
are now used.

workflow. It also features advanced search capability, a comprehensive bug
audit trail, CVS version control integration, and an easy to use system
administration tool for project configuration and user account management.

Changes: Error handling was improved in both the Log and  Mailer classes
to avoid some misleading runtime  exceptions. The RequestDispatcher
forward was  improved to avoid a Java IllegalStateException  under certain
circumstances. A problem with  multi-line data in the CSV export function
was  corrected. The email template should now use the  original
description ($description) and the last  response ($response) - the detail
($detail) is  no longer used.

visual setting of breakpoints, regex searching capabilities, and more.

Changes: A bug where tab spaces were being displayed  incorrectly in the
source window was fixed.  VI-style page up/page down commands were added, 
and the old Shift-J and Shift-K commands were  deprecated. A bug in the
Ada highlighter was  fixed, as files weren't being displayed  correctly.

  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 08:33

Scientific/Engineering :: Chemistry
Software Development :: Libraries

About: ChemApp is a programming tool from the area of computational
thermochemistry. It is a library consisting of a rich set of subroutines,
based on the thermodynamic phase equilibrium calculation module of
ChemSage. It permits the calculation of complex, multicomponent,
multiphase chemical equilibria and their associated energy balances.
ChemApp is available as object code for a wide range of platforms and as a
shared library/DLL. ChemApp "light" is the free version of ChemApp, and
although it is restricted in two ways compared to the regular version, it
gives you almost the same functionality.

Changes: Many major enhancements and additions were made. The most
significant addition is the new subroutines which enable a chemical
equilibrium composition to be calculated using the last results as an
estimate, thus speeding up repetitive equilibrium calculations.

[021] - Clubmask Resource Manager 0.5b82 
  by Nic Henke (http://freshmeat.net/users/henken/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 05:24

System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: Clubmask is a 'glue' package that combines the outstanding
management and speed of the Bproc distributed process layer with the power
and configuration of the Maui HPC Scheduler. It uses the Supermon resource
monitor to gather node information. This node information is combined with
job submission data, and suplied to Maui. Maui issues job start and
termination commands which are handled by Clubmask via the Bproc layer.
Clubmask also supplies a 'supermon2ganglia' translator that allows
supermon data to be displayed in a ganglia Web frontend. 

Changes: The code in the mauichksummodule now makes sure that checksum is
null terminated for Py_BuildValue. In ResourceManager::Machine,
BprocSupermon is now allowed to find nodes. In BprocSupermon, the logic in
findNodes was fixed to make sure that supermon sees all of the nodes that
bproc does. This also solves a problem where too much data was returned by
each 'findNodes' call. supermon is now only contacted if there are nodes
that need to be added. In IdResolv, bug where a node with a leading 0
would mismatch what supermon would assign as a nodeid was fixed.

[022] - ColorDiff 1.0.3 
  by Dave Ewart (http://freshmeat.net/users/daveewart/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 14:14

Software Development
Text Processing :: Filters
Utilities

About: ColorDiff is a wrapper for diff. It produces the same output as
diff, but with coloured syntax highlighting at the commandline to improve
readability. The output is similar to how a diff-generated patch might
appear in Vim or Emacs with the appropriate syntax highlighting options
enabled. The colour schemes can be read from a central configuration file
or from a local user ~/.colordiffrc file. 

Changes: More tolerance of whitespace in the config file. More elegant
handling of directories other than '/etc' being the location for the
central colordiffrc and preserving a backup of an existing
/etc/colordiffrc at installation. Extra documentation for 'less' options.

library attempts to make it easy for developers to define their own steps
and to combine these steps in the desired order.

Changes: JWizardComponents is now an interface, which  means that
developers can actually implement  their own JWizardComponents class very
easily. A  small bug in SimpleDynamicWizardPanel was also  fixed, although
it should not have affected any  current users very much.

Software Development
Software Development :: Assemblers

About: KMD is a multi-processor debugger. It can debug with hardware
boards over serial ports or with software emulators (ARM and MIPS
emulators are included in the project). Using the pipe option you can
debug over the network or any other communication medium. It can load many
executable formats such as ELF, and display and follow the original source
even from multiple source file programs. There is support for breakpoints
and watchpoints which can trap on specific data (such as loading or
executing specific instructions). Support for other features such as
FPGA's is also available, allowing loading or any control required to
drive a specific hardware device. The project uses chump to allow
disassembly and line assembly. Chump also allows new architectures to be
easily added without the need to recompile the system. Communication with
the backend is done using two pipes/fifos using a simple set of codes.
Back end communication program can be created using very little memory on
the target device. 

Changes: Some options were added to allow better testing. The -f option
allows a fake back end to observe leaks within kmd. The -d option dumps
all communication out to a file for later analysis. The -p option allows
KMD to work across pipes, allowing it to be connected to arbitrary pipes.

caching and storage of each generated PHP file from any PXP on disk (thus
re-queries on the same page will not have to re-create it), allowing XHTML
templates (simpler than XSL), SOAP support, multiple transformation
pipelines, and allowing the site manager to describe multiple types of
transformation pipelines (each type having assigned some XSLT's which
transform the XML data). HTML or XML output are possible by default, and
extensibility is very high. 

Changes: A powerful installer was added, along with  support for SVG
generation, which allows  developers to embed dynamically generated pie 
and bar charts in their Web documents. The  samples were improved,
dramatic performance  improvements were made for aggregated pipelines 
(twice as fast), and KrysalIDE communication was  improved. A new site map
was included, and  DOMXML memory allocation was improved. PHP 4.3.3  and
libxslt 1.0.30 are now supported, and an  ADOdb upgrade was made.

Utilities

About: LavaPS is an interactive process-tracking program like "top", but
with a much different attitude. Rather than presenting lots of specific
info in digital form, it tries to present certain important information in
a graphical analog form. The idea is that you can run it in the background
and get a rough idea of what's happening to your system without devoting
much concentration to the task. Lavaps was inspired the idea of calm
computing from "The Coming Age of Calm Technology" by Mark Weiser and John
Seely Brown.

Changes: Gtk is now used, although Tcl/Tk is still  supported via a
--with-tcltk configure option.  The Gtk version now also displays a base
on the  lava lamp. The scan frequency can now be  controlled from the How
menu (jumpier/smoother),  and the scaling factor is saved automatically.

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Software Development :: Libraries

About: libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files of
arbitrary type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the
actual extraction, and to be trivially extendable by linking against
external extractors for additional file types. The goal is to provide
developers of file-sharing networks or WWW-indexing bots with a universal
library to obtain simple keywords to match against queries. libextractor
contains a shell-command "extract" that, similar to the well-known "file"
command, can extract meta-data from a file and print the results to
stdout. Currently, it supports the formats HTML, PDF, PS, MP3, OGG, JPEG,
GIF, PNG, RPM, ZIP, Real, QT and ASF. Also, various additional MIME types
are detected.

Changes: This version fixes some bugs in the binary extraction  plugin. It
no longer needs aspell or pspell since it now  does spell checking
its-self using a bloomfilter.

  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 22:28

System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration

About: Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator allows beginning-to-advanced network
administrators to control bandwidth. It is designed to be completely
turn-key in its default configuration. You just plug it into your network
trunk, and it self configures and immediately starts slowing "bandwidth
hogs". It also comes with finer controls that are easy to use, and can be
configured to target specific applications such as Kazaa, IMAP, and POP.
Traffic can be limited by host IP, subnet, and content blocking.

Changes: The CD distro bundles the Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator on a fully
self-contained CD. You can plug this CD into a PC with two LAN cards and
have a running arbitrator in minutes. Also bundled on the CD are advanced
reporting tools to report usage by host/subnet, application, or port in a
variety of formats.

implementations and an example guideline implementation for internal use.

Changes: The fixed length X.12 ISA segment is now fully handled by finite
state automata. Pragma and warning/error support has been improved, and
experimental [pre-]caching of directory lookups has been added. A new
script for generating code from UN/EDIFACT directories has been added,
which works with all the "D" series directories (D93A - D01C). An
experimental C++ interface is included with this release.

message each other, and/or store information in its serverside
hierarchical database. The database supports queries via regex and "live"
updates via a subscription mechanism, and may be subclassed to if
application-specific logic is needed.

  by Andreas Schiffler (http://freshmeat.net/users/andreasschiffler/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 14:26

Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries

About: The SDL_gfx library offers several components: Graphic Primitives,
Rotozoomer, Framerate control, and MMX image filters. The Primitives
component provides basic drawing routines: pixels, hlines, vlines, lines,
aa-lines, rectangles, circles, ellipses, trigons, polygons, Bezier curves,
and an 8x8 pixmap font for drawing onto any SDL Surface. Full alpha
blending, hardware surface locking, and all surface depths are supported.
The Rotozoomer can use interpolation for high quality output.  

Changes: filledPolygon drawing has been modified. The edges of a filled
polygon and a polyline were reported to not intersect correctly. With this
fix, the edges still do not intersect 100% due to the difference in the
algorithms, but now a polygon will never draw outside of the area enclosed
by a polyline.

packages such as those of KDE and GNOME.

Changes: Handling of symlinks in the target tree has been improved. Some
bugs related to broken symlinks have been fixed. A --force option has been
added to force overwriting of files without prompting.

[086] - Structured Document Validator 0.7.0 
  by Jeff (http://freshmeat.net/users/jchapman/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 06:48

Text Editors
Text Processing
Text Processing :: General

About: Structured Document Validator implements a generalized method for
validating both the structure and content of structured documents. Any
data format that can be deterministically divided into tags and data is
classed as a structured document. This definition applies to a wide array
of data formats, including XML, Java properties files, and delimited value
files. The application performs validations based on user-defined
Structured Document Definitions (SDDs). It provides an environment for
validation, SDD development, and document editing. 

Changes: This release includes improvements to validation configuration
and printing, as well as minor bug fixes. In addition, error tabs for a
validated or compiled file/tab/directory are now mapped to the target so
that a new error tab is not opened each time the file/tab/directory is
processed.

[087] - Syslinux 2.05 
  by H. Peter Anvin (http://freshmeat.net/users/hpa/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 21:31

System :: Boot

About: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating
system which operates off MS-DOS floppies, network servers using PXE
firmware, or from CD-ROMs. It is intended to simplify first-time
installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A
SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS
that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created; and
requires only a very small DOS or Linux program to create in the first
place. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems
from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM. 

Changes: In addition to bugfixes, this release adds a native Win32
installer (since the DOS installer seems to have problems on NT-based
systems) for SYSLINUX, and adds MAC-based naming of configuration files
for PXELINUX.

[088] - tinydyndns 0.3.0 
  by Gerrit Pape (http://freshmeat.net/users/pape/)
  Wednesday, July 16th 2003 06:43

Internet :: Name Service (DNS)

About: tinydyndns is a simple but powerful dynamic DNS solution that uses
djbdns. It cooperates with the djbdns package to publish dynamic IP
addresses authenticated through POP connections. On successfully
authenticated POP connections, the tinydyndns-update program manipulates
tinydns' constant database "data.cdb" directly without rebuilding it; this
makes the dynamic DNS solution use very few system resources. Using a POP
service for authentication saves the work for installing special client
software, since POP clients are available for every common network-aware
operating system. To provide the DNS and POP service, tinydyndns
cooperates with djbdns, qmail, and cvm.

Changes: This version adds documentation on how to provide a fail-over
solution for tinydyndns services in case of unavailability of the
tinydyndns server, with an accurately defined down-time. A minimal
tinydyndns client for Unix is now included, and the tinydyndns-conf
program has changed slightly.

Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Games/Entertainment

About: VideoDB is a database to manage your personal video collection.
It's mainly designed for videofiles but you can also put your DVDs and VHS
tapes in it. It features fetching movie data/covers from the Internet
Movie Database (IMDb), local caching of coverimages, an option to mark
movies as seen, a search by genre or title/subtitle/plot/cast data, a
filter for TV episodes, a random movie function and a simple borrow
manager. It is a personal database, so no user management/authentication
scheme is implemented. Everybody may add/edit/delete movies. 

Changes: A problem with the order by diskid feature was  fixed, a Russian
language file was added, the  French language file was fixed, and the
random  function was improved and should now produce  better results.

Scientific/Engineering :: Geographical

About: Viking is a GTK2-based GPS data editor and viewer. It  can download
and show Terraserver maps, import and  draw tracks and waypoints over
them, add coordinate  lines, make new tracks and waypoints, hide different
 things, and more. It uses a hierarchical layering system  to organize GPS
data, maps, and other layer types  with spatial data (such as coordinate
lines). 

Changes: There is a new text-based file format, copying and pasting
layers, waypoint comments (mainly for exporting to the gpsmapper format),
goto any (x and y) zoom factors, georeferenced map support, and a default
map storage directory.

Games/Entertainment :: Fortune Cookies

About: wtf is a replacement for the NetBSD command of  the same name. It
looks up a specified term in a  number of databases and returns a
definition to  the user. In addition to the acronym database  searched by
the original wtf command, this  version also searches a database of
filename  suffixes. It is written in C and uses an index  file (similar to
fortunes) and a binary search  that should make it faster then the
orignal.
